Ahh, see this is the moment I realize we're all in a separate instances and all assuming our UIs look identical.

This has nothing to do with banning and everything to do with filtering. Especially at this early moment when everyone lacks the ideal tools and functions to curate your iwn content across the Fediverse.
For now, you can always access both kbin and lemmy from a third instance thats federated with both, regardless of their direct federation to each other. When more tools exist for users to curate their own experience we can always federated up again.

They can't do that one under their terms of use, at least not directly:

By submitting user content to reddit, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display your user content in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so

So OP retains copyrights, Reddit has a nonexclusive license to it forever, but only OPs DMCA would be valid.

If federating meant their ads could creep into our spaces, then I bet they would just get defederated by everyone in hours.

The beauty is it doesn't matter too much. I'm seeing and replying to this from a kbin instance of this post, you see.

Whever anyone asks what the internet used to be like I send them to a little old site called www.homestarrunner.com It's still up after all these years. Truly beautiful.

/r/gifs currently is following suit! If you still have a reddit account go vote ASAP! (Also unsubscribe from all your "business as usual" subs as possible, immediately, if you can't delete your account immediately for whatever reason)

I'm wondering if you will be able to ask ChatGPT to search reddit for answers instead of doing it directly. Does it use official APIs to scrape information across the web?

Except... that's not what they say anywhere. In fact they wrote three nuanced essays that explain in detail their philosophy, and lay out that you CAN be critical of something (i.e. feminism) in a nice way that acknowledges your humanity and the humanity of others, and that if Feminists come in and flame you over it, THOSE are the people who will be getting warnings and bans. They want a mature community that fosters mutual understanding when disagreements arise. So when someone says "feminism bad" like they have a 26 character limit that doesn't exist, they see it not as disagreement but as disrespect.

Can't be done, admins have it all backed up.

According to ChatGPT, a Kaban is Polish for wild boar. A Kobuz is a large gyrefalcon. Relevant because kBin admin @ernest is Polish.

Twitter hasn't given an official ~~excuse~~ reason, but the reason should be obvious to anyone and everyone who knows what Plainsite does.
